This autumn, the Department of Law welcomes Celia Carrasco Pérez, a PhD researcher from the University of Burgos, Spain. She will spend three months at Stockholm University as part of her doctoral research on environmental crime within the European Union. Celia is a member of the research group “Judicial Cooperation in Civil and Criminal Matters within the European Union: Procedural Instruments” (CAJI) at the University of Burgos.

Creating controlled mini-ecosystems, called mesocosms, is one way for researchers to study factors that influence processes in the sea. This summer, a large experiment of this kind was conducted at the Askö Laboratory, to investigate how emissions of greenhouse gases from shallow coastal bays are affected by global warming and by animal communities in the water and sediment. Understanding the connection between coasts and climate is a key question for researchers in CoastClim . This summer, Sara Westerström and Moritz Nusser from the Research School Perspectives on Climate Change in Coastal Seas took a new approach to investigating how small animals in the water and in the seafloor can affect greenhouse gas emissions, both now and in a warmer future.
